Best headline ever

hahahahahaha

haha the mighty BV shut out too

hahahahahaha

I hate the suspense. I have a feeling that when I am finally driven by hunger from my desk, the password will be released.

Of course you don't have the password, BV. Otherwise, you would have shared it with us.

I keep trying to guess the password, but so far, no luck.

Anybody know the name of Kapranos' dog?

his dog is name eleanor? ohhh! indie rock burn!!!

sold out kids

no they took it down
not even on sale yet
it was a mistake to be up

Who got these tickets? Where was this password? I searched and couldn't find a word about it. I call bullshit.

am i the only one getting a "sorry, tickets are currently unavailable"?

I called ticketweb, it said tickets would be on sale to the general public Thursday at noon. Cross your fingers.

that means sold out probably

It appears that the pre-sale is over.

fan club members got the password in an email.

IT IS NOT SOLD OUT. THE TICKETS HAVE NOT EVEN GONE ON SALE YET
THAT THING WAS A MISTAKE AND THEY PULLED IT DOWN
RELAX EVERYONE!!!

password = wowiezowie and already friggin' gone.

i just got a pair at 1:04...keep tryin'!

"i just got a pair at 1:04...keep tryin'!"

lol

I'm pretty sure the password is "2004"

There are errors in your form submission:
• This event is not on sale yet. It will be on sale on Jun, 07 2007 at 12:00 PM EDT. Please check back then.

This event is not on sale yet. It will be on sale on Jun, 07 2007 at 12:00 PM EDT. Please check back then

"This event is not on sale yet. It will be on sale on Jun, 07 2007 at 12:00 PM EDT. Please check back then."

YO thats fucked up.. twice i got in put the password and when i hit check out it said no tickets avail

it's done now. thurs at noon. goods luck

Thanks for the password cg. This was a presale - I entered the password and saw this:

This event is not on sale yet. It will be on sale on Jun, 07 2007 at 12:00 PM EDT. Please check back then.

For a second I thought maybe this was a MySpace Secret show because it looks like the label has nothing to do with this and airfare plus eqipment, or if they rent, is not cheap.

The password is wowiezowie - thanks again!
How did you get the password?
Good luck tomorrow @ "high noon".

Thanks for the info people. These are going to sell out instantly...good luck everyone!

gotta love The Mothers/Zappa

HAHA 12:54, but I still like ff.

ummm or pavement, knucklehead

Anyone know the Kings of Leon presale password?!? Quick!!!

Kings of Leon password? Yeah, it's "wesuckballs."

I hate it when people post stuff like this, but somehow, when I do it, I get some weird feeling of self-satisfaction. go figure.

"ummm or pavement, knucklehead"

dude learn your music history if you're going to criticize someone. spelled that way it's zappa/mothers.

Ted, you mook
It is spelled that way for Pavement also but with a space but if you had any sense you would realize that for ticketweb and ticketmaster the passwords have to be one word.
I would bet good money for a band like Franz Ferdinand they were referencing Pavement and not Zappa
Dumbass.

Pavement's album is spelled "Wowee Zowee" and Zappa's song is spelled "Wowie Zowie"

How is the lack of a space relavent?

I thought I read somewhere that Kings of Leon password was "KINGS". Chew on that one.

Ted's correct

people who don't know things can be good people, but not when they act all indignant and think they know everything. anon 1:35, you called someone else a dumbass and you were factually wrong. for that i think you should remove yourself from any franz ticketing buying tomorrow.

this should get everyone excited.. 2 tickets are on ebay for 1,399.99 nice

Cool, I just got two tickets second row, center!

Cool, I just got two tickets second row, center!

Anon 1:19 PM was owned.

"ummm or pavement, dumbass"

stupid fuckface.
i'm the one you called a dumbass.
i've only been listening to the Freak Out! for the past two weeks, i should know.
as anyone who's a Zappa fan should know.
and since when are passwords two seperate words.
you fucking idiot.
fuck out of here.

franz's myspace page just posted a bulletin saying the tickets go on sale at 9 AM FYI

to "Freak Out!"*

i don't get it.
let's say the Pavement albums WAS spelled "Wowie Zowie"
why the fuck call me a dumbass when there's Zappa song of the same name?
like i'm wrong or something..
jesus..
you're "lemme try and correct someone, that way i'll be on top for the day" attempt didn't pull through this time asshole.

knucklehead*

same difference.

if you read fran'z myspace post about the show, they make it pretty clear that they're referencing the pavement album.

looks like anon 1:19 can return to be being smug again.

if that's true, then

1) they missed spelled it.

2) it's a still a goddamn Zappa song.
and THAT song is spelled the way the password was.

FF just posted a message on myspace saying that tickets go onsale tomorrow, 9AM.

misspelled*

jesus, my spelling's off today.
at least my logic isn't.

where'd that "knucklehead" come from? hahaha.
someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning.
totally uncalled-for.

Hmm,not to completely throw myself into the fray but reading these comments and looking at the post on the Franz site it seems a few things are clear

1)Anon 1:19 was actually correct in that the band was referencing the Pavement album which as we all know was a riff on the Zappa song. Even with the misspelling.

2)The original poster Anon 1:16 was wrong. Plus it is "FREAK OUT" and not "the freak out" so in fact you are a knucklehead and a dumbass

3)Ted is in fact a mook

4)seems as if all of the others were owned as well.

i corrected myself at 2:42pm
as on 2:41pm i meant write "the Freak Out! album"
but left out the word album.
like you NEVER leave out words or typo online.
fuck you.

meant to*

goddamn, i'm on a roll today. man..

how much money will this be?

yes you are on a roll, idiot. Now go away

BOTTOMLINE

that 1:19 dickhead called me an idiot when the password "wowiezowie" (when you take the spelling of the two words into consideration) is a reference to the Zappa song and all i did was acknowledge that.
had the password been spelled "woweezowee" and i said "gotta love the mothers/zappa", then maybe "ummmm or pavement, knucklehead" would have made sense. but that wasn't the case.
sure, the band has the pavement record on their myspace page but that wasn't the password.
that's all i'm saying.
so everyone that can't see the logic in that
stop acting like an idiot and see things straight for a change.

Anon 3:25, Ted here. Apparantly it is a fact that I am a mook.

Here's the deal. Anon 1:16 makes a comment about Zappa after Wowie Zowie is mentioned. Whether or not it was a direct reference to Zappa or Pavement, there is ABSOLUTELY NO REASON FOR HIM/HER TO GET FLAMED.

It is reasonable for a person to think that it was a reference to Zappa, which I think I proved in my earlier post.

Even if Anon 1:19 was correct that it was in reference to Pavement, which it very well could be, Anon 1:19's post is not justified and is out of line. We're all supposed to be enjoying music, right?

By your comments, you think it is ok to start a flame war over this. I'd love to hear your logic.

feel the hate! (the pink slime grows beneath NYC)

3:34 haha
isn't it funny how the person that was factually correct all along is the one that gets fucked up comments like "go away"
why you can't see things my way, the logical way is beyond me.

it's a simple example of folly like that that embodies the evil in this world, and adds to it, in subtle way. regardless of the fact that you're just one person.
it's millions like you that make this world a bad place.
there's no logic behind it.

i'm gone.

"how much money will this be?"

Back on topic, if you mean the Franz show, tickets were/will be $25 each, plus fees. Full cost of a pair: $59.75.

Damn you people bitch a lot.

you guys are a bunch of homos, i mean really...who still listens to zappa unless you're a hippie or a hipster poser? WHO CARES WHAT THE PASSWORD REFERENCE IS FROM! go back to listening to your patrick wolf album and sucking on your thumb and shut up..

What the hell is with all of the "homos" and "gay" cracks on BV? Seems like the white trash has finally discovered this blog. Sad.

If people starting complaining about the $25 ticket price, this blog will truly be a sad and pathetic place.

The is the nerdiest, most idiotic & moot argument I've ever had the misfortune to read on BV. Well done. You guys have outdouched yourselves.

Hey all,
I just got back from Mercury Lounge as I was picking up tickets for another show and i asked them about Franz.
So passing on the info:
Do not worry about today's ticket sales. They were a very small amount in the range of 50 to 75 tickets. The bulk of the tickets are on sale tomorrow at NOON and not 9am like the Franz posting says.
So good luck to one and all

is this what the franz ferdinand crowd is like? forget about it.

Alex Kapranos stole my volleyball net!

Fuckin' hipster scum!

Tickets go on sale tomorrow at noon on Ticketweb to general public.

how much $$ can i make reselling these things?

You should be able to make a decent amount. I think I'll walk away with $350-$450 per pair.

How do you usually sell the tickets? Craigslist? eBay? I know people who have gotten busted for scalping so I'm a bit concerned. Tips, please?

are tickets sold out already?? it's 12:06 pm!!

i refreshed until at noon till the order screen finally came up, i successfully entered the pass and chose 2 tickets. then the shit sends me to a waiting room only 2 minutes later to tell me that tickets are sold out. complete bullshit

you can't resell these tickets unless you buy one for yourself as well. they're will call, which means you get no physical ticket to sell, and you have to show the credit card you bought the tickets with at the door to be let in. So the only way to resell these is to buy 3, sell 2, then meet the 2 buyers at the door and bring them in with you. kind of a hassle

"are tickets sold out already?? it's 12:06 pm!!"

It's sold out in 10 seconds, you are thinking 6 minutes is enough?

I'm not a scalper and I can think of two ways to resell these tickets without entering the venue yourself, so scalpers must know of at least five.

and what would those two ways be?

At Bowery, the outside dude checks IDs and the inside dude checks credit cards, so the names don't have to match. Charge the tickets, then cancel the credit card and give the canceled card to the buyer. Or use one of those gift credit card things. The buyer can use his or her regular ID.

I wouldn't post this publicly if I didn't think scalpers already knew this. I'm no genius and I figured it out :P

you can exit the building to smoke provided you have a wristband..so I guess you can cut it off and give it to someone outside..
